DefaultLanguageType

The default language type (language and encoding) to use for documents of unspecified language.

Proxy Component uses this language type for documents when:

  • it cannot read the language type of a document from a specified field.
  • the parameter is not specified in the action.
  • automatic language detection is disabled.

DefaultLanguageType also specifies the default for the parameter in actions such as and .

If you do not set DefaultLanguageType and you do not specify the language type in actions, Proxy Component uses the first language type defined in the [MyLanguage] section.

If you do not set the DefaultEncoding configuration parameter and you do not set the action parameter, Proxy Component uses the encoding specified in the action parameter, or in the DefaultLanguageType configuration parameter if you do not use the action parameter.

NOTE: If the encoding of a document is found, but the language is not, Proxy Component can apply a [General] language, if it is defined, and if automatic language detection is activated.
